Look what I found

Ito ang ipinasa ko kasama ng application form sa Ateneo. Bago pa pala ako mag-college alam ko na yung "more efficient service" eh. Nasa tamang course ako! Astig. Ito oh:

God has created me to do him some definite service:
He has committed some work to me, which he has not
committed to another.
I have my mission . . . I am a link in a chain, a
bond of connection between persons.
He has not created me for naught. I shall do good.
I shall do his work.
—Cardinal John Henry Newman

What is my mission?

At a tender age of three, I was in the midst of rowdy, smelly children who sought the comfort and help of Church volunteers every Saturday. I remember singing and teaching them how to sing “Beautiful, beautiful, Jesus is beautiful....” complete with the action that accompanied the song. Saturday after Saturday, I had the same routine with my duties and responsibilities growing and becoming more exciting. Giving catechetical instructions, tutoring the kids in their academic subjects, packing meals, distributing Christmas gifts and school supplies, there are a thousand and one activities I have done and still continue to do for the little angels who used to roam the streets of our parish.

In high school, I found myself packing relief goods for the Mayon Volcano victims and joining medical/dental missions to various areas in Muntinlupa and Parañaque including the New Bilibid Prisons. My heart went out for the children with Down Syndrome when I first joined an activity for them. Since then, I have continued to give them a special place in my heart.

Through the years, I have realized that there is a lot of work to do for others especially for the marginalized and less fortunate members of society. That is why when I was offered to organize the Interact Club of St. Benedict College and to head the Bene Kalinga, I willingly accepted the challenge. The offer made my heart skip differently. I couldn’t explain the feeling but I was on cloud nine and didn’t want to go down anymore. Then a thought came across my mind. What if this was my mission in life? What if my mission was to help others in any way that I could? So that was it! I found my purpose and I took the challenge as an opportunity to be of more efficient service to my brothers and sisters in Christ!

Congratulations Blockmates :)

Finally. :)

Apat na taon ng pag-aaral.
Apat na taon ng pag-o-org.
Apat na taon na puno ng hirap, puyatan, sakit, pagkainis, pagkabagot, pagkapikon, at mga iba pang ewan.
Apat na taon na puno ng pagkakaibigan, tambayan, pagsasamahan, pag-aasaran, at pagmamahalan.

Sa wakas.
Tapos na tayo.
Sa apat na taon na iyon, tila kay ikli lamang, pero marami na rin ang napagsamahan.
Sana kahit tapos na ang yugtong ito, ang pagkakaibigan naman natin ay hinding-hindi matatapos.

Para sa aking Block JJ 2008.
Patuloy lamang sa paggawa ng mabuti.
Alalahanin ang lahat ng natutuhan sa Ateneo.
Kung mapagod man, alalahanin na sa apat na taon sa kolehiyo, mayroong pamilyang nabuo sa atin.
Mag-email, mag-text, o mag-Multiply (o kung Facebook, ayos lang din).
Suportahan tayo.
Basta sige lang, kaya natin 'to.
Ipakita sa mundo kung sino tayo.
Ngunit manatiling nakatuntong sa lupa.
At huwag kalilimutang tumawag sa Kanya.

Para sa aking Block JJ 2008.
Mag-iingat kayo.
Mahal ko kayong lahat.

Keep in touch. :)

Homily of Fr. Provincial Danny Huang, SJ for our Baccalaureate Mass :)

Dear members of the Class of 2008:

As I was thinking of you and what to say to you this morning, I remembered two things: a song and a cartoon. The song is from a musical some of you are familiar with, Avenue Q, sung by the fresh college graduate, Princeton:

What do you do with a B.A. in English,
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college and plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree.
I can't pay the bills yet,
'Cause I have no skills yet,
The world is a big scary place.
But somehow I can't shake,
The feeling I might make,
A difference,
To the human race.

The second thing I remembered was a cartoon strip from the popular series Cathy. Cathy, filling up a job application, is telling her friend Andrea: “How about if I put down that my goal is to be president of a major corporation and make a $100,000 a year?” Andrea, looking puzzled, asks: “I thought you wanted to get married and live in a little white house with 2 cute kids?” Cathy answers with rising enthusiasm: “That’s my goal too! I want everything Andrea! I’m going to do it all!” The last image shows Cathy, suddenly coming down to earth, saying: “All I need now is a job and a date.”

Friends, I remembered this song and this cartoon because I think they capture the mix of feelings many of you are probably feeling on this very important day in your life. I suspect that many of you feel at least three feelings. First, relief (which, incidentally, I believe your parents, who had to pay all the bills, feel even more than you do!): tapos na!; wala nang exams; wala nang projects; most importantly, wala nang Dacanay! Second, hope: like Cathy or Princeton, a sense of “Now I can make my dreams come true! I’m going to make a difference! My life is about to start!” Third, fear or at least anxiety: “Yes—but first, I’ve got to pay the bills, I need to find a job—and maybe find a date, too. Baka pagkatapos ng lahat ng philo orals at Bobby Guevara exposures, ang bagsak ko call center agent pa rin!”

Relief, hope and anxiety: not abnormal emotions at all, because today something is truly ending in your life and something else beginning. On this day then, when your life is changing, perhaps more than you know, we pray for you. We pray that you go “down from the hill” with three gifts for your life ahead, three gifts inspired by today’s Gospel reading.

First, we pray that your relief may deepen into gratitude. Yes, it’s all over. You made it. But if you look more deeply, you might recognize, like the disciples in today’s Gospel, that the achievement of these past four years was not simply the result of your striving, but a gift much like the miraculous catch of fish that surprised the unsuspecting disciples.

I certainly see this more clearly from the perspective of twenty-eight years after my own graduation from the Ateneo. For the past week, I have been working quite intensely with our Jesuit Commission on the Social Apostolate, analyzing our present national crisis and searching for ways to respond. What struck me most the other day was how so many of us in that committee, both Jesuits and lay, were products of the Ateneo and were doing what we were doing precisely because of what the Ateneo gave us beyond our expectations. Dr. Jing Karaos was our president in AtSCA; Fr. Bobby Yap was president of CLC and one of the co-founders of SOA; Dean Antonio La Viña was our classmate in philosophy and fellow member of ACIL; Dr. Benjie Tolosa was one of the freshmen we senior members of the Sanggu eyed as promising leadership material. Here we were almost three decades later, all middle-aged; yet the capacity to think critically and in a nuanced way, the passion to serve our country, the Christian faith that motivates that passion to serve, and our friendships that have endured over the years were all gifts of the Ateneo to us, things we received rather than achieved. I look at you and I am sure you have received the same gifts we did: rigorous intellectual formation, a passion for nation-building, deepened faith and spirituality, and really life-giving friendships. Thus, our first prayer: may your relief deepen into gratitude.

Second, we pray that your hope be broadened by responsibility. What do I mean? I’m glad that what you have received from the Ateneo will enable you to fulfill your hopes and dreams for yourself and your loved ones. But, as Pope Benedict has reminded us in his recent encyclical: “Our hope is always essentially hope for others. . . . we should never limit ourselves to asking: how can I save myself? We should also ask: what can I do in order that others may be saved and that for them too the star of hope may rise?” (Spe Salvi, 48). Thus, our second prayer: that your hope be broadened by responsibility; that you expand your dreams to include always a deep sense of responsibility for the future of our country and our people, especially the poor. The disciples in today’s Gospel began fishing for themselves and for their own livelihood; they ended up becoming fishers of men and women, drawing in the net for the Lord. So, we pray, it may be with you.

Just think of this last dramatic year of your life in college. For a while, so much attention was taken up by the sometimes silly and self-absorbed debates about the dress code. These gave way, thankfully, to larger and more real concerns. So many of you supported the Sumilao farmers, marching with them into the Ateneo from Cubao, applauding them as they entered our campus, walking with them to Malacanang, visiting them at the DAR offices. So many of you were moved by how their heroic sacrifice of walking thousands of kilometers in scorching heat or in the midst of a terrifying typhoon, was inspired by the simple but profound dreams of the poor: land, security, a better life for their children. Many of you too found yourselves in the midst of yet another national crisis, found yourselves moved to rally for truth along Katipunan or in the streets of Makati, sharing the shame many of us feel that Ateneans are among the forces of deception and self-interest that have caused the suffering of our country, sharing the pride too that other Ateneans have been on the side of truth and reform. I believe that all of this has been part of your Ateneo experience to remind you that our lives, in the end, are not about ourselves, and to invite you to dream and hope not just for yourself, but in responsibility for the future of our country and our people.

Finally, we pray that your anxiety may be tempered by faith, a faith that is really a deep trust in the One who is always near but whom we often don’t recognize, as the disciples in the Gospel did not recognize him as he stood by the shore at daybreak.

Your anxiety and fear are all too human, and, I am afraid, justified, I wish it were not so, but we are sending you off today into a world that is complex, often crazy, shot through with darkness and danger. You’re graduating into a world of unstable financial markets, of global terrorism and fear, of political instability and corruption. The days when you could just put down “Ateneo” on your resumé and be assured of a job are, I’m afraid, over. There are so many more choices before you, and commitments will be harder to make or maintain. And yet, whatever lies ahead of you, we pray that you walk in the confidence of faith. The great German Jesuit theologian, Karl Rahner, said it very simply: Keine zufall, nur gnade. “There are no accidents; only grace.” How you ended up in the Ateneo, from one point of view, is the result of sheer chance and contingency: your family background, your ambitions, a lucky break. But from the point of view of faith, your having been part of the Ateneo is part of a provident, caring plan for your life; a plan of love, divine love. I guess that’s really what I want to say to you: there is a plan for your life, even if you don’t see all the succeeding steps so clearly now. Whatever lies ahead of you beyond the hills of Loyola, then, you can walk without fear, for if you but open yourself to your God and seek to listen to his voice speaking in the everydayness of your life, you will be led to your deepest happiness and your greatest fruitfulness.

Dear graduates of the class of 2008, relieved, hopeful, anxious friends, these then are our prayers for you as you leave the Ateneo today: may your relief deepen into gratitude; may your hope broaden into responsibility; may your anxiety be tempered by faith. Grateful, responsible, faithful Ateneans, may you thus be for our world and our time truly Lux in Domino, Light in the Lord.

Before I end, I wish to name a final feeling that I believe some of you feel and that I have not mentioned till now: sadness. Last night, I read a poem of one of your batch mates on his Multiply site, and it seemed to me a very sad poem. Of course. The Ateneo has been more than a school for many of us; it has become a home and it is always sad to leave home. I don’t think there’s anything I can say to take away that quiet sadness: it’s just there; college is over. Allow me to address that sadness though with a scene from a novel.

I began with Avenue Q and Cathy; allow me to end now, hopefully with a little more intellectual respectability, as befits the Ateneo, with Dostoyevsky. In the final chapter of his great novel, The Brothers Karamazov, the monk Alyosha, the good and gentle brother, says goodbye to a group of boys he has befriended and mentored. They are sad because they must part. In their sadness, Alyosha invites his young friends to remember: to remember always the days of their friendship and camaraderie. I ask you to remember always, he tells them. Because, he says in a memorable phrase, a good memory is the best education. We will leave each other and go our separate ways. Life will happen to us and change us, sometimes, not for the better. But, Alyosha adds, if life tempts us to become cynical or bitter or cruel, if we remember these golden days of our friendship, if we remember how we dreamed together, how we were kind to one another, how we were good, then maybe, just maybe, that memory will save us, and draw us away from the forces of darkness that are always threatening to vanquish and capture us.

“A good memory is the best education.” This then is the final wish of all of us here in the Ateneo who bid you farewell and Godspeed today. Remember. May you always remember the “joys and tears, the laughing years,” the friendships and dreams of your days at the Ateneo. May these memories bring you joy, bring you salvation, take you back home. God bless you always.

-Fr. Daniel Patrick Huang, SJ, Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus; 28 March 2008

With the Eyes of Faith

Just like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we do not easily recognize Jesus with our "human eyes". It is only with the eyes of Faith that we recognize the risen Christ.


Have a happy Easter. May we always see the risen Christ in all things.

:)

a bit sad

This is an important event for me, and I thought you'd be there. :(

Hay

I really don't know what to write, but I feel that I have to. I haven't been writing seriously for quite some time. A lot of events have transpired and the sentimental in me wants to keep them all alive. But the problem always is I couldn't sit still long enough to write decently. How could this be? I really don't know. I get distracted and would rather stare at my screen till I'd realize it's been an hour already. Daymn. I'm losing time.

I guess it's because I always think a lot. I'd overanalyze things. Even with blogging, I'd think about what I should write. Hay. Ayun.

I feel quite anxious today. I think (there I go again) that I should accomplish a lot of things, but I'm running out of time. I have my clearance to fill up today yet I think I have to go to the grocery to buy stuff for my retreat. I also have to pack, and look for my stuff. Ewan. I don't know how I'll get to school without having my clothes for this evening's affair all crumpled. :( Stress.

Sige, alis na muna ako.

Almost

Clearance na lamang ang natitira, at yehey na...

installment 3

Why do we have to wait? We don't have all the time in the world.

We just want to get out of here.



It's so sad.

Clearance :(

WALA PA RIN AKONG CLEARANCE DAHIL HINDI PA KUMPLETO ANG MAJOR GRADES KO.

AT BUKAS NA ANG DEADLINE.




BWISET. :(

see the difference you can make

On March 29, 2008, the Philippines will join countries around the world as we literally "turn the lights out" for Earth Hour - an event that will fuel awareness on climate change and prove that when the people of the world work together, they can make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Earth Hour will take place throughout the Philippines from 8 to 9 in the evening on Saturday night, 29 March 2008. WWF invites you to participate by shutting off lights for 60 minutes, organizing your own "lights-out" event or by forwarding this mail to your friends, workmates and family.

Launched in Australia on the 31st of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. This massive collective effort reduced the cibaty's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

YOUR participation will go a long way in spreading the message that we, as individual droplets working collectively – can create an impetus far more powerful than the mightiest of rivers. For more information, log on to the WWF Earth Hour page at: www.earthhour.org/.

If you want to learn more about how else you can help make Earth Hour in the Philippines a success, drop us a line at (632) 920-7931, (632) 920-7923, or (632)920-7926

The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about those who know you.

Remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you

Dear DS Program,

Please release our clearance. :( I want to finish all the processes already.

Hay.

Thank you.

Dearest Seniors, Pay It Forward

The Loyola Schools and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) invite graduating seniors to pay it forward by volunteering to conduct surveys of schools in Nueva Ecija this March.

ACED has been working to improve public schools through a schools-based management approach. The approach is unique in that it involves the entire school community and introduces participatory strategic planning processes for public schools. The strategy has been proven to work as seen in the vast improvements in scores of participating schools.

ACED now wants to use the strategy to assist public schools in Nueva Ecija and they need assistance in gathering baseline data which will be used as the basis for the strategic planning process. ACED is looking for volunteers who will conduct a 2-day profiling of public high schools in Nueva Ecija.

Continue being men and women for others. Give the gift of improved public school education before you graduate.

If you’re interested, contact us at 426-6001 loc. 5218 and look for Cholo, or email him at ktorres@ateneo.edu. A 2-day seminar-workshop on profiling will be given to volunteers.

Flowers

One day I was so nervous for a presentation. As I was walking around to release the tension, I came across two of my freshies sitting at the Rizal Walk benches. I sat with them and we just talked and just became plain sabaw about everything (well, ako lang pala yung sabaw). :)

Thanks for the flowers, Girls. :) *Hug.

installment 2

Duty comes first. Why don't you just finish them before you do anything "extra-curricular"? You have a responsibility, dude. I hate to see my loved ones affected.

Oh, and just because I care: I hope you'd stop burning bridges, it's so sad that all these are happening when we're about to leave.

tuloy pa rin

(ang awit ng buhay koooo! haha, err di pala yun)

I'll pursue with IMPUKAN, but there are a lot of changes now. I'll update you soon. :)

Corner of the Sky

Para sa mga tulad kong graduating. Para sa inyo ito :)


Corner of the Sky
(from Pippin)

Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windowsill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have
Of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be
Something more than long....

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. In relationships, you tend to be a bit selfish. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

How Are You In Love?

Cancer - Your Love Profile

One minute you're up - the next you're down. Your ideal partner: Someone equally sensitive, who wants to take time to get to know you deeply Dreams of an everlasting love - complete with marriage and a family Loves to take care of you. Being a good cook and masseuse doesn't hurt! Your dating style: Slow. You enjoy dates that last all day, with plenty of time to talk and get to know one another. Your seduction style: Quite tender and loving, once you are comfortable in your relationship. Coy. You tend to play it cool to drive your lover wild. Orally talented - you're known as the best kisser in the zodiac. Tips for the future: Be a little less sensitive. Not every little mistake should hurt you. Spend time away from your partner every so often - independence is a good thing. Find ways to take care of yourself. You'll be happier if you put yourself first.

What's Your Love Profile?

You Have A Type A+ Personality

You're driven to succeed every single second of the day And you don't let up on your goals, no matter how tired you are You've already achieved a lot in your life... but it's not enough for you Always on the go, you tend to get things done quickly and effectively You have the personality to be a successful entrepreneur Just remember to play a little too, even if play is the most difficult thing for you!

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

Hahaha, A+. Mamamatay ako nang maaga nito. :P

You Should Play the Guitar

You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book. It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

astig.

twenty-six

Talaga? Twenty six days nalang? :-S

Kapag natapos ko na ang tatlong nalalabing requirement, at natapos ko na ang clearance ko, at naayos ko na ang Coke Barkada matters, talagang go na ito. Grabe, hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko.

Kahapon naiyak talaga ako sa Pabaon. Alam niyo naman na ultimate keso ako, at tsaka iyakin talaga ako. Pero ayun. Grabe talaga. Tapos si Jen naman eh, nagtext pa ng mamimiss daw niya ako. Shet diba. Parang, oh noes. Ito na talaga yun. Ito na yun.

Iniisip ko kahapon kung bakit talagang nasesenti ako. Nung high school naman, oo nga umiyak ako nung graduation, pero wala, di ko naman naramdaman talaga na mamimiss ko ang school at ang relationships doon. Ewan. Pero ngayon, talagang shet.. Apat na taon lamang naman ako nanatili rito, pero grabeng sakit ang mahiwalay sa Ateneo. Grabe talaga. Ramdam na ramdam ko iyong mensahe ng SOSS eh.

Hay. Sige, gagawa na ako ng papel.



Ang daming laman ng isipan ko...

Keso

Ang pinabaon sa Pabaon ay Keso. :P


Dahil di pa ako tapos sa COLLEGE, di muna ako magbblog.

Letter to the Ephesians 5,8-14.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says: "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light."

Pabaon

Di ako umabot sa March 1 na entry hehe. :P

Ang ganda ng Pabaon. Naiyak ako, in fairness. Ang dami kong ma-mi-miss. :(

Yun lang. Gusto ko na umuwi.

Why?
